Rajasthan Schools Warned Against Forcing Santa Dress

The education department in a district in Rajasthan, India, has told schools not to make children dress up as Santa Claus for Christmas.

The area has mostly Hindu and Sikh families, and the department wants to make sure no one is forced to follow traditions that aren't theirs.

This decision came after someone complained that schools were making kids dress up as Santa even though there are very few Christian families in the area.

The department said schools should be careful and respect local traditions to avoid any problems.

They also warned that schools could face punishment if they don't follow this rule.
